I do *not* fuck with pimps.
I do not like pimps.
I think that they are generally scum.
But they probably don’t operate like how you imagine.
I feel like so many people don\u2019t know what a pimp actually is, like, in the real world, and that lack of understanding is often harmful to sex workers.

Would anyone be interested in an educational thread based on my and other ppls experiences?
First, I wanna address the cultural conception of the “pimp”
This conception is based in white supremacy
It is a black and/or foreign man, who kidnaps little white girls and sells their innocence against their will with violence
This is what you’ve been told is a “pimp”
I need you to delete this from your brain because this caricature of white supremacist fear of physically and sexually aggressive black men does not exist
The first person in the sex industry who tried to be my “pimp” was a skinny 30 year old white woman who was also a stripper.
There’s a reason anti-SW orgs push the imagery of evil non-white men as pimps
I also need everyone to know 99.9999% of pimps are not in the business of kidnapping people and locking them in a hotel room against their will to service customers.
I can’t say it never ever ever ever could happen, but, the VAST majority of the time, it is not that
Just finished a deeply personal & educating private conversation with @GregoryMcKelvey. We both are committed to doing & being better in regards to ourselves & those around us. I thank him for taking the time to reach out, for us to learn from each other, & to open a dialogue.

1. I was blocked by @pinwheelempire around 3 years ago. Something that actually really hurt as a life long Blazers fan. I thought it was because I tweeted stupid stuff about Stotts as a passionate fan during that playoffs that I don’t currently believe.
2. At some point I asked why and was informed by multiple people that the account was ran by a cop and that many media members disliked him. This was told to me many times by many people. I then believed that my race, and my public protesting of police was why I was blocked.
3. I do not work with police in any capacity because of personal trauma and historical oppression. I believe people should know when they are interacting with police. I also was/am salty about the block as a life long fan. I am still blocked.
4. Periodically I would tweet reminders that the account was ran by a cop, which I believed. Although part of my incentive was that I was hurt by the block as a fan. Recently I tweeted such a reminder which I believed especially pertinent given the current uprising.

Here's my story ⬇️ I worked in a preschool in 🇸🇪, masks were a taboo that no one dared to talk about. When I quit & said I didn't wanna put my health at risk anymore w/o 😷 my boss said "I understand, if you're scared of diseases this is no place for
A teater came to the preschool today. Two ppl were there from 7 am-1 pm. Saw one coughing & blowing his nose several times. The teater was indoors w/ singing & loud laughing.

Today is the day I quit my job. I refuse to work any longer in a place where no one cares about my safety
Another thread so soon? This one's going to be about a classic argument, sex determination. There are five methods of sex determination and I'm going to go into depth on my arguments on why I state that sex is able to be determined in all cases. #intersex

To start with the the way the five factors work is that together they add up to one of the two results, I think this is a safe estimate given the casing of Hayley Haynes.. which can be backed up by a few other findings where uterine tissue was discovered:
There was an official statement made that determined the current ongoing issues with uterus transplants being an issue in AIS women having nothing to do with their Y chromosome which currently people use chromosomes to argue genotype, or
Let's start then, with the first and most simple of factors. Karyotype.
In those born with CAIS they are born with a 46 XY karyotype with a SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However there is a mutation in the primary X chromosome that leads to not being able to process androgens.
This in turn leads to testicular feminization caused by a mutation in the X chromosome that leads to the body resisting, or not being effected by androgens produced in the body. We'll go more into that later.
Karyotype: Male Typical 46 XY[SRY]
Today, I want to talk what it's like when I see, sense & feel that a more senior Black woman is attempting to sabatoge me and assassinate my character. A💔 🧵
It all started here. I joined @PublicHealth in 2018 and was elected chair in 2019. As can be seen, I was SO excited that the members of this section believed in my leadership enough to elect me to this
So, apparently I'm Chair-Elect of the Epidemiology Section of APHA! I'm speechless right now! Thank y'all so much!! pic.twitter.com/SiEHj2OTva

Since I cross paths with very few other Black women epidemiologists in these academic streets, I was looking forward to working with the Black women leaders in this section.
1st mtg as chair-elect of the Epidemiology section of APHA and I'm *stunned* that I was elected b/c I just joined APHA last yr. & people usually work their way up the ranks for 10+ years before taking this role. And our section has 3k people. I'm HONORED!\u2764 pic.twitter.com/GvXtfaXaHv

I started observing that the communication to me was minimal, there was little documentation on processes & procedures, and I was (and felt like) an outsider here. I also felt bad vibes, and tried to set up a mtg to check in on communication & leadership styles. It never happened
Then, our annual meeting happened, & I had been struggling with what I experienced as condescending communication and unwelcoming culture. I was like this can't be right, let me contact @PublicHealth staff for some support.
